Biden announces Equal Rights Amendment should be viewed as ratified

baltimoresun.com — January 17, 2025 at 04:01 PM UTC

President Joe Biden announced that the Equal Rights Amendment should be viewed as ratified, emphasizing the support from three-fourths of the states. This statement addresses ongoing debates about gender equality in the U.S. Constitution. The amendment, which prohibits gender discrimination, was first sent to states in 1972. Although Virginia ratified it in 2020, the National Archives has stated it cannot be certified due to a deadline set by Congress. Biden's announcement does not direct the National Archives to certify the amendment. A rally with members of Congress is planned outside the National Archives to support the cause.
